Sony's 16:9 widescreen Hi-Scan XBR® models  this 57" model and the 65" KP-65XBR10W  are compelling reasons for movie lovers to stay home. The 16:9 aspect ratio is 33% wider than a standard 4:3 TV screen of the same height, and much closer to the way movies are originally filmed.

Sony's Super Fine Extended Definition MicroFocus picture tubes produce a 28% smaller "beam spot" than previous designs, for sharper focus, higher contrast, and a brighter image. The built-in protective screen features a multi-layer anti-glare coating that really helps. To see these TVs at their very best, connect a DTV tuner or a high-performance progressive-scan DVD player (like Sony's incredible DVP-S9000ES).

All of your viewing will be more enjoyable thanks to Digital Reality Creation (DRC). It "upconverts" your analog video sources to 960i resolution. When you enhance video sources with DRC  especially DVD  scan lines just seem to disappear, leaving a smooth, filmlike image.

If you don't already have a home theater setup, the KP-57XBR10W gives you a head start right out of the box, with built-in Pro Logic decoding, 3 built-in speakers (left, right, center) plus outputs for a surround pair, and 100 watts of total power!

FREE In-home delivery! Because of its large size, the KP-57XBR10W will be delivered to any accessible room in your house or apartment. Check the TV's dimensions (above) to make sure it will fit through doorways, stairwells, and around corners. Delivery is available to physical addresses in the lower 48 states. (Sorry, no P.O. Boxes or freight forwarders.) Transit time is 5-7 business days once your order has been processed. Extra charges may apply for delivery after business hours or on a weekend, or if the TV must be carried up more than 5 flights of stairs. Note: Free return shipping not available with this model.

Hi-Scan 1080i Display (DTV Receiver
Compatible): Two component video inputs allow you to connect
an optional DTV receiver or a source with component video outputs (either
standard NTSC or 480p, such as DVD players). This television is capable of
receiving 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i digital TV formats. However, this unit is
not capable of displaying a 720p format signal as it is. When the 720p format
signal is received, it is converted into a 480p format signal. Note:
One input is for use with normal NTSC component video only. When using a
Digital TV receiver or a DVD player with 480p output, you must use the Video 5
component input.

Widescreen:
This
57" projection television has a cinema-like
16:9 aspect ratio.

DRC (Digital Reality
Creation): Allows you to enjoy a very high resolution picture from any
standard NTSC image by using digital processing to turn all NTSC images to 960i
resolution (which is about 4 times the resolution of a standard NTSC image).
This helps to give you a finer, more detailed picture and decrease the
visibility of scanning lines by doubling the number of scanning lines and pixels
per line for four times the original picture resolution. DRC is not
available when Video input 5 is used.

3D Digital Comb Filter:
Sony's best comb filter uses frame memory to compare each TV scanning line with
the corresponding line in the previous and following frames - in addition to the
lines above and below. This gives maximum resolution and reduces video noise.

Flash Focus All Digital
Alignment System: With the touch of one button, you can converge the
picture by aligning the red, green, and blue picture tubes. This allows you to
watch a perfectly converged picture without having to spend a long time manually
converging the picture or having to call in a service technician. A series of
cross hatches appear on the screen and the convergence is set in about 30
seconds. Note that the set should be allowed to warm up for about 30
minutes prior to convergence and the set should be converged when it is first
used.

Multi-Image Driver: Gives
you the following functions (not available from Video input 5):

Two tuner Picture in Picture

Twin View: Allows you to
watch two channels simultaneously, both in a reduced screen size. You can
change the size of both pictures as desired, and can zoom in on either of
the two pictures, alternate sound between the two pictures and freeze the
two pictures.

Channel Index: Allows you to
display up to 12 channels simultaneously and select whichever one you want.
The current channel is displayed in a reduced size in the center of the
screen while up to 12 other channels appear around the main screen. The
smaller images are updated once a second.

Favorite Channel: Allows you
to directly access up to 8 channels.

Dolby Pro Logic Sound System: Allows
you to enjoy high-quality surround sound without having to use a separate A/V
receiver and loudspeakers. The unit uses two 4" tweeters and two 6
3/8" woofers for the mains and two 4" speakers for the center channel.
Optional rear channel speakers (not supplied) can be connected to the spring
clip terminals on the rear of the projection television. Power output is 20
watts for all 5 channels.

V-Chip Parental Control: This
allows you to limit the shows that can be viewed based on the television rating
system. This system uses a user selected 4-digit password to block programs from
children based on TV Ratings and contents; Movie Ratings and Unrated programs.
Note that the unit has three preselected categories (Child, Youth, and Young
Adult) or you can select the exact restrictions you want by using a Custom
setting. After setting Parental Control "On", you must enter the
password to view blocked programs. Note that if you forget the password you can
enter the master password of 4357 which allows you to create a new password.

Mode: You can select Vivid,
Standard, Movie, Game or Pro. The Vivid setting enhances picture contrast
and sharpness. The Standard setting displays a standard picture for normal
viewing environments. The Movie setting displays a finely detailed picture
for low light environments. The Game setting is optimized to display
graphics. The Pro setting displays a picture with minimum enhancements.

Picture Adjustment: Picture,
Brightness, Color, Hue, and Sharpness can be adjusted for each mode.

a letterbox picture in Zoom mode and a 4:3 squeezed picture in Full mode.

Wide Mode: You can select
Normal, Wide Zoom, Zoom, or Full for the 4:3 or letterbox picture to fill
the 16:9 screen.

picture into a still. There are two modes, Normal which freezes the whole
screen and Twin, which freezes the desired picture on the left side of the
screen while the normal picture is displayed on the right side of the
screen.

DTV Input: Used to select
the correct input when an optional Digital TV Receiver is connected to this
set. You can select RGB when the G/B/R/HD/VD jacks of Video 5 have been used
or Y PB PR when the Y/PB/PR jacks of Video 5 have been used. If you select
the wrong input the picture color will not be correct.

RM-Y907 Remote:
The
remote is pre-programmed to operate this unit and a number of functions on other
A/V components. Several controls are located under a lid that covers the top
half of the remote. A joystick allows you to move the on-screen selector in
eight directions, making menu navigation simple and efficient. The
numeric keypad, volume control and channel up/down buttons glow in the dark
(green).

Video 4 Input: Stereo RCA
jacks, RCA composite video jack, S-video jack, and Component video jacks (P/Pb/Pr).
Note: This input is for use with normal NTSC component video only. When
using a Digital TV receiver or a DVD player with 480p output, you must use
the Video 5 component input.

Video 5 (DTV) Input: This
video input is for use with Digital TV sources (such as a Digital TV set top
box) or a DVD Player with 480p component video output. Besides a stereo
audio input there are a total of 5 video jacks which are all RCA jacks. Two
of them are HD and VD which are found on some Digital TV Boxes. The other
three are the component input which is Y/G, Pa/B and Pr/R. This component
input is used when you have a DVD player with 480p output, a Digital TV
receiver with component output, or is used along with the HD and VD input if
you have a Digital TV receiver with G/B/R/HD/VD video output. Please note
that different digital TV formats have varying optimal convergence alignment
so the Flash Focus feature should be used when you switch between formats.
Also, the following functions will not function when using the Video 5
input; Freeze, PIP including Twin View, Channel Index, Favorite Channel,
Select Out, Direct Play or Parental Control.

Center Speaker Input: Spring
clip connector. This input is used to send the center speaker output of a
Dolby Pro Logic receiver to this unit so that the center channel speaker of
this unit can be used. Note that this input presents an 8 ohm load and
will handle 60 watts nominal, 120 watts maximum.

Audio Outputs: Two sets of
stereo RCA jacks, one is fixed and the other is variable.
